putting something on the internet faster and giving lots of links don't make someone the founder of an idea.
it's been over a year since we started working on this project.
but i think you know it better since you politely stole it from the walls of hunt lascaris.
anyway, it's a nice idea to use it for sea rescue in jo'burg, where you don't even have sea.
nice try.

For anyone who cares - after many furious emails we have concluded that we cannot prove who came up with the idea first. It seems that the universe has played a cruel joke on us and has given us the same idea separately. It sounds impossible but I recall many times when I have seen an entry in an annual of an idea that I had. It's infuriating but nonetheless it does happen.
I retract my former accusations with apologies.
If anyone out there wants to accuse my partner or I, please feel free to email me.
